• Drawing Schedule: Drawings are held three times a week, specifically every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday ³⁴.
• Drawing Time: The drawings take place at 10:59 PM ET at the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee ⁴.
• How to Play: Players select five numbers from a set of 69 white balls and one Powerball number from a set of 26 red balls. Players can choose their numbers on a play slip or opt for the lottery terminal to randomly pick numbers (Quick Pick) ⁴.
• Winning: There are nine ways to win a prize in Powerball, ranging from matching just the Powerball number to matching all five white balls and the Powerball to win the jackpot ³⁴.
